LAN Connector and
Cables
The two Ethernet connectors, labeled L1 and L2, can be cabled using
either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cabling.
Boundary router models can use only the L1 Ethernet port. If you upgrade
to full router software, the second port will be functional.
The following figure shows the pinouts of the L1 and L2 connectors
(RJ-45). The connector bodies connect the cable shield to chassis ground.
